Religion in Western Texas.

From the Detroit Free Press.

The minister invited those who wished
to be prayed for to occupy the front
seats. A green-looking young "knight

OF the deacons, who thus addressed
him: "Now, my dear young friend,
don't you love Jesus; Jesus who died
that you might live forever in the
world beyond; don't you love him1"
"Wa-al," was the answer, "I'vs hear'n

nuthin' agin' him." In examining q
history OF religion in the early days
of Texas find the following remark

preacher in western county during

dear friends, let us reason together.
Suppose you lose your property, you
can work for more; if you lose your
wife you can marry again; were you to
lose your children, you might have
more; but if you lose your immortal
souls, up the spout you CO."

The Science of the Base Ball Curve

The Science of the Base Ball Curve.

and only affects the balls velocity
The same is true if the bali is spinning
on an axis lying along its course.
But in the case we have to consider,
wherethe ball is spinning on an axis
square to its course, the cushion of
compressed air formed by the advance ng
ball has no longer this symmetrical
shape. On the advancing side of the
spinning surface the air cannot escape
10 readily as it would If there were no
spin; on the other side it escapes more
readily than it would but for the spin.
Hence the cushion of air is thrown to-
ward that side of the ball where the
spin is forward, and removed from the
other side. The same thing. then, must
happen as where ball encounters a
cushion aslant, A ball driven squarely
against very soft cushion plunges
